Hello! This week FB Diva Friday Chronicles welcomes Pastor and Entrepreneur Corene Jeffery Green.
Chronicles: Hello Corene, thank you for visiting with Chronicles this week. It is indeed a pleasure to have the honor of your presence. Please share with the readers your bio or background info for those who're not familiar with you.
Corene: My name is Corene Green and I grew up in a small town called Bainbridge, Georgia. I am the youngest of seven siblings. I grew up very poor, therefore we did not have a lot growing up, but what I did have was two parents that loved God and instilled the fear of God into us.
I graduated from high school in 1992 and furthered my education at a local college in Bainbridge. I received my associates degree in Early childhood education and then went on to Ashford University and received my bachelor's degree in the same field. I am currently a pre-k teacher but however as God ushers me into a new season of my life that will soon change. After being called by God to Pastor I went back to school and received my master's degree in Theology and am currently working on my doctoral degree in Christian counseling.
Chronicles: How amazing it is that your life has taken the progression that it has. How long have you been in ministry and what are the entrepreneurial ventures that you're involved with?
Corene: I have been in ministry for over 12 years and I serve as Pastor and founder of Prophetic Kingdom Ministries. As an Entrepreneur my business is a ministry within itself.
I currently am owner of a business called SPARKLE. Sparkle is a home cleaning, home organization, and home interior decorating business.
I refer to it as a ministry because as I go into businesses and homes I help people to understand the connection between a clean environment and how it ties into your spirit man. When home or business is clean and organized and in place in the natural you can hear God better because your space is not cluttered. When there is an abundance of clutter and filth your spirit man suffers. I take every opportunity to use this business to bring change into the lives of people.
Chronicles: Do you employ teams of workers with Sparkle or is it a one person operation?
Corene: At this current time Sparkle has two employee's that work with me, however my vision for this business is to provide jobs for several more individuals so I can simply oversee the work and not have to actually do the work.

CHRONICLES: That's very impressive and an admirable goal to have, Corene. What other activities are you involved?
Corene: I am also a songwriter and a recording artist; I have released two Cd's. My first Cd is entitled "Restored," and my second CD is entitled "Faith" will be released in April..And I am an author who has currently published three books.
Chronicles: That's quite interesting. I'm going to break pattern and ask you for an overview of each book.
Corene: My first book "The Crushing Place" is a book where I give my personal testimony about my life and my breaking experience. In that book I share intimate details from both of my marriages that ended in divorce. The hurt, pain, rejection, and emotional damage that I experienced almost caused me to take my life but God being who he is knew that my pain was only producing my purpose. I share how God took me from the pit and raised me up and restored my life when I thought that all hope was gone. The Crushing Place is a book for those that are experiencing Hard trials in their life and it will give the reader a new outlook on their struggles to know that even in the hard places God has a greater blessing waiting on the other side of what we go through.
Chronicles: That's very powerful and an encouraging message for many who have faced similar trials Corene.
Corene: My second book "For Ministry Sake" is a book that is a must read for anyone operating in a leadership role in the body of Christ. In this book I share my life as a Pastor's wife and how I always felt like I did not matter because my husband put the church and the members ahead of our marriage. I share how my life as a pastor's wife was a fake life of putting on the best on Sunday and suffering within silently because I had no one to confide in. Also I share details about how pastor's children are bitter or become bitter over a period of time because so much of that individual is given to church ministry that the ministry at home suffers. I deal with God's divine order for the husband, wife and the children and how we need to get back to that divine order and stop putting our first ministry which is our families on the back burner for ministry sake.
My third book "Faith To Overcome" is a book that was written when I was homeless in 2014; yes in 2014. The book talks about how the Lord instructed me to sell my home and told me that he would give me a bigger if I built his house, Prophetic Kingdom Ministries which is the church that I Pastor. I obeyed God and never thought that my children and I would have to move in with somebody else but we did. During that time it was a difficult process for me because I had to find faith in God to carry me through the transition. I lived there for nine months of life and during that time I took all my money and sowed into the ministry as instructed but I was frustrated in the process. This book is a step by step manual for believers who are going through a hard place of transition to discover that God's all over purpose is to increase our faith. Today I walk in the promises of God by faith because I left a 1700 square foot house built brand new but in 2015 God blessed me and my children with a 2300 square foot home. God had to take my faith to another level to believe him for the impossible and even as the readers read my book I promise you it will take you to another level of Faith To Overcome anything. Simply because greater is he who is within you then he who is in the world.
Chronicles: This is some very timely teachings that you've shared today. And where can readers access your materials
Corine: I am getting ready to release my fourth book and second CD in April. My Cd's are available on I-tunes and my books are available on Amazon, Nook and Kindle.
Chronicles: And you're on the radio and television airwaves as well, correct? Please share what's happening with those ventures?
Corine: "Living Life In Purpose" is a television broadcast
that features men and women of God who are truly living their life in purpose. This show features individuals who have been through hard times in their life but by the grace of God lived through it to be a testimony of faith for our viewers. The broadcast airs three times weekly in five different states and this year I am believing God to expand the broadcast to three more states.
My radio broadcast is, "The Prophetic Voice," and it is quite different from the television broadcast. The Prophetic Voice airs weekly and I give the listeners a prophetic word from the Lord as to what he is speaking to the body of Christ. For the most part it is a broadcast where I never really know how God is going to move but he always meets the needs of those listening.
CHRONICLES: Revelation knowledge is certainly an important edification feature of the Christian faith. It's such a Blessing that God meets the needs of his people through your ministries.
Now each week guest are asked to share what the acronym Diva(Divinely Inspired, Victoriously Ascending) means to them. Please share your vision of these phrases?
Corene: Divinely
inspired and victoriously ascending simply means to me that we can
succeed in anything that is divinely inspired by God. As we obey God and
birth forth every dream, every vision that has been placed on the
inside of us we become victoriously ascending. As we obey God he
elevates us to places we never thought we could go. As we are divinely
inspired we must know that in order for us to be victoriously ascending
we must now that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the
world. When the greater one is our top priority we will have victory in
every area of our lives.
Chronicles: And to that I say...Amen and Amen.
